title: Effect of parenteral hyperalimentation on serum lipoproteins and on lipoprotein lipase activity of adipose tissue and skeletal muscle.
abstract: This study reports on the effects of parenteral nutrition with glucose along or in combination with Intralipid on heparin-releasable lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activity of adipose tissue and skeletal muscle and on serum lipoproteins. Thirteen patients with postoperative hypercatabolism and nine patients with caloric malnutrition were studied. The average adipose tissue LPL activity increased 5-fold during 4-day glucose infusion (P less than 0.001) and 7.4-fold during Intralipid plus glucose infusion (P less than 0.001). In contrast, no change occurred in the LPL activity of skeletal muscle. Glucose infusion caused a significant increase in VLDL and LDL triglyceride concentrations and the Intralipid plus glucose infusion was followed by a rise in LDL and HDL triglyceride concentrations. HDL cholesterol decreased by 26% (P less than 0.01) during glucose and by 19% (P less than 0.05) during Intralipid plus glucose. Apoprotein A I was very low already at the start of parenteral alimentation and it did not change during either nutrition. The HDL cholesterol and apoprotein A I and A II levels were each positively correlated with adipose tissue LPL activity before parenteral nutrition but not after it.
